I have a mid-2014 model and I absolutely love it. However, weird spots have been appearing on my screen now on the black edge and I'm kind of nervous/scared. Anyone else with these spots?

Yep, that's the screen coating coming off. It's known as "Staingate": http://www.staingate.org/

I got mine replaced for free from Apple (they even upgraded me to the most expensive model of the next generation as they didn't have my medium level one any more)

Does it have to be under the first year or two for warranty for that? I definitely have this, but I'm 2.5 years out at this point.

Edit: https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/24/retina-macbook-display-staing... Oh my! I think I could go get a shiny fix/replacement. I am definitely going to have to do that

Thanks for this post! hah
